Murray and other Democrats said they were troubled that Mukasey refused to recognize waterboarding as torture and to say outright that it is illegal. Waterboarding is a brutal interrogation technique that creates the sensation of drowning.

The large majority of Democrats are on record regarding the following:

1. Torture violates U.S. law.2. Waterboarding is torture.3. The President has ordered the military to use waterboarding.4. Warrantless surveillance of U.S. citizens violates U.S. law.5. The President has ordered warrantless surveillance of U.S. citizens.

What is the point of professing your beliefs if you don’t act on them?
